Du 18 au 20 mai 2012 : The Annual Cliometrics Conference - Tucson (USA)
2012 Annual Cliometrics Conference
The annual Cliometrics Conference in 2012 will be held on the weekend of
Friday, May 18 through Sunday, May 20 at Westward Look, Tucson, Arizona and
hosted by the University of Arizona and the National Science Foundation.
The conference is designed to provide extensive discussion of new and
innovative research in economic history. Typically, twelve papers are
selected for presentation and discussion. These are sent out to all
conference participants in advance. Each paper is a single session, in which
authors have five minutes to make an opening statement and the rest of the
hour session is devoted to discussion among all conference participants. All
participants are required to read all papers and to attend the entire
conference. At least one author must be a member of the Cliometrics Society.
For membership information contact Michael Haupert at haupert.mich@uwlax.edu.
The deadline to submit a paper proposal or a request to attend the conference
is Wednesday, 18 January 2012. Proposals and requests to attend the
conference will be accepted beginning Monday, 14 November 2011. We can only
invite a limited number of participants, so it is important to be prompt. We
strongly encourage interdisciplinary proposals and participants. Those
wishing to present a paper should provide an abstract and a 3-5 page summary
of the proposed paper. In choosing papers and participants, the host
committee will assign priority to those who have not attended recently or who
have never attended. Graduate students wishing to attend or submit a paper
proposal should also obtain a letter of recommendation from their
dissertation advisor. Those wishing to present papers or attend the
conference should provide their addresses, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail
addresses. Those whose papers are selected for presentation will be notified
by 14 February 2012 and are expected to provide a completed draft of the
paper in the proper format for the conference volume no later than 13 March
2012.
We strongly prefer that applicants submit their materials through the
announcement on www.eh.net homepage. Click on the “Annual Cliometrics
Conference” link on the right hand banner under the “Announcement View”
heading.

Du 21 au 23 Septembre 2012 : EHA Meetings - Vancouver (Canada)
Call for Papers: 2012 Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association
Revisiting the Transportation Revolution
Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association
Vancouver, British Columbia
September 21-23, 2012
Generations of economic historians have written extensively about the
economic impact of the transportation improvements. Nevertheless, new tools,
new data, and new techniques derived from geographic information systems,
economic geography, and the like continue to offer better measures of the
impact of the improvements in roads, ships, railroads, and planes (and the
infrastructure which support them). They also provide new insights into the
short and long term effects of these changes and how they have shaped our
world by diminishing the importance of space and place. Once upon a time,
distance in the form of time and money protected producers and isolated
communities and cultures. Improved communications and transportation have
eroded these—a process which continues to this day as these technologies
evolve.
The Program Committee (Robert Margo, Boston University (Chair); Ran
Abramitzky, Stanford University; Leah Boustan, UCLA; and Eugene White,
Rutgers University) welcomes submissions on all subjects in economic history,
though some preference will be given to papers that specifically fit the
above theme. All papers should be submitted individually. Authors may suggest
that three particular papers would fit well together in a session but such
suggestions are in no way binding upon the Committee.
Papers should in all cases be works in progress rather than accepted or
published work and authors should let the program committee know, at the time
of application, if the paper they are proposing has already been submitted
for publication. Individuals who presented or co-authored a paper at the 2011
meeting are generally not eligible for inclusion in the 2012 program.
Papers and session proposals should be submitted online:
www.eh.net/eha/meetings/submissions. The submission system is open from
October 24 onwards. Paper proposals should include a 3-5 page précis and a
150-word abstract suitable for publication in the Journal of Economic
History. Papers should be submitted by Friday, 27 January, 2012 to ensure
consideration.
Graduate students are encouraged to attend the meeting. The Association
offers subsidies for travel, hotel, registration, and meals, including a
special graduate student dinner. A poster session welcomes work from
dissertations in progress. Applications for the poster session should be
submitted online and are due no later than May 18, 2012. Information on how
to submit will be posted at http://eh.net/eha/meetings/2012-meeting. The
dissertation session convened by Naomi Lamoreaux (Yale University) and
Joachim Voth (Pompeu Fabra University) will honor six dissertations completed
during the 2011-2012 academic year. The submission deadline is May 15, 2012.
The Allan Nevins and Alexander Gerschenkron prizes will be awarded to the
best dissertations on North American and non-North American topics
respectively.

also includes information on travel options to Vancouver, Canada; or contact
Meetings Coordinator Jari Eloranta at elorantaj@appstate.edu. |
